Chapter 5: The Gap is a Bit Bigger Than the Plan

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Zhang He hurriedly stepped into the door, and when he entered the door, he felt a little crooked when he saw this scene, and immediately said the second half of the sentence embarrassedly, "Eh...... Didn't bother you, did you?"

The pharmacist was still sulking and did not answer. Yao Yan also shook his head helplessly.

"Can I take another look at the artifact you want to auction?" Zhang He walked quickly to him, and as he spoke, he found an empty seat next to the coffee table where the long sword was placed.

The pharmacist was still sulking and didn't speak. Yao Yan continued to nod his head.

"This is a high-grade spiritual weapon, but I don't know what materials it is used to refine it, is it convenient for you to reveal some information about the spiritual weapon?" Zhang He almost put his face on the long sword, and after carefully observing it for a long time, he still didn't see the clue. I just think this long sword is full of spirituality and extremely sharp.

The pharmacist was still sulking, and Yao Yan knew that he couldn't hide his identity as soon as he spoke out, so he shook his head helplessly.

"Can I test the power of this long sword?" Zhang He saw that he couldn't get useful information from Yao Yan, so he thought about testing the power and effect first, and then make a specific estimate.

The pharmacist was still sulking, and Yao Yan continued to nod his head.

According to the process, only the appraisal is completed, and the seller gets the appraisal and agrees to resell. Only after the Lot has entered the Pending Trading Period can the auction house be qualified to decide whether the Lot will be left or not. If appropriate, the auction house will also bid to buy the item directly into the auction house's inventory. Although this long sword has been auctioned by Yao Yan, so far, Yao Yan can still terminate the transaction at any time. In the final analysis, this long sword is still Yao Yan's personal finances at this moment, and the auction house has no right to dispose of it, and even any operation must be approved by the owner. This point is also to make the seller feel at ease, the special regulations, to put it bluntly, is to make the seller feel comfortable and win a good impression, so that they can come and go often.

Zhang He urged his true qi and formed two seals in his hands. At this moment, the door of the room suddenly closed, and a bright red metal plate two meters thick landed in front of the door.

"Hehe, Your Excellency has worked. It was a shield made of black gold and dark iron reinforced with blood gold, and there were four pieces in each room in four directions. It is specially prepared by two nine-star god powerhouses and one saint powerhouse to protect guests in the event of an accident. After testing, it can resist the full force of the immortal cultivators below the Yuan Infant to take turns attacking. But rest assured, since the creation of our Sotol auction house, no one has been able to break through the door. Speaking of this, Zhang He was full of confidence in the strength of his family, and he also used his true qi to slap the guard plate, but the guard plate did not move. After doing that, he continued to turn his head to look at Yao Yan, trying to guess some of his mood fluctuations in Yao Yan's reaction.

Yao Yan didn't react to Zhang He's explanation, and inadvertently found that Zhang He was looking at him, and then nodded symbolically in response.

Yao Yan is like a pool of bottomless water, Yao Yan has no fluctuations, and Zhang He has also secretly probed Yao Yan's strength many times, but he has never found anything. In the end, I could only give up, give up looking for clues from Yaoyan to understand my emotions, and complete the business in front of me wholeheartedly.

With a "poof", the long sword in Zhang He's hand pierced the guard plate directly like cutting tofu. The long sword was full of spirituality and seemed to feel the battle, and continued to slash left and right with Zhang He's body, cutting the elbow-thick guard plate into pieces. He clearly felt that this iron sword was not only extremely sharp, but also extremely psychic. Even though Zhang He had seen countless rare treasures, it was less than a thousandth of the shock brought to him by the iron sword in his hand.

"Hehehe, your auction house's guard plate and your cultivation are nothing more than that" There was a little excitement in the medicine man's voice, and he was unwilling to let go of everything that could make him not deflated. Only mocking to his heart's content is his pleasure.

Yao Yan is also a black line in his head, and it is really impossible to have such a naughty and black-bellied master on the stall.

"Your Excellency is so humorous, hehe. "Zhang He has been engaged in the auction house for more than ten years, and he can naturally hear in an instant that the medicine man is laughing at himself and the protection system of their auction house. But because of the strength of the other party and after all, it is someone else's thing, and he can only respond awkwardly.

"Your Excellency, please have tea. Zhang He knew what he needed to do to ease the embarrassment and allow himself to slowly calm down from the shock he had just had.

The moment Zhang He turned around, he saw the teapot on the table, and the ghost envoy picked up the teapot and planned to refill the tea for Yaoyan. It's just that he didn't know that Yao Yan had been drinking tea since he entered the door, and the teapot had long been empty.

"Xiao Zhou, what should I do? I don't know if the teapot is empty!" Zhang He held the teapot and poured it twice, and found that the spout did not produce tea. The already embarrassing scene instantly became a little colder.

"Yes, I'll go right away. "It was the first time that Xiao Zhou had been alone with a man who scared her for so long, and her heart had already reached the verge of collapse. At this time, hearing Zhang He's accusation, tears instantly fell to the ground like beads of a broken line, and they fell to the ground and shattered.

"Hmph! The old man didn't come here to drink tea! From the moment he entered the door, nearly an hour had passed, and nothing had been done. Buying a broken sword and grinding it is so inefficient, and you still have the face to say to others?" It's just that the medicine person feels that it is okay to send it to the auction house to save trouble and hand it over to the steward, and there is no need to negotiate the price at the stall, and the waiting time can still walk around. I didn't expect to be misunderstood, and I sulked for so long. In the end, I asked this and that, tested and drank tea, and finally broke out.

"This ...... Our auction house has never auctioned such a valuable artifact. Don't worry, I estimate that this superb spiritual weapon is more than 50,000 gold coins, and I won't know how much it is until the auction is over. For your benefit, it is proposed that the auction will be held in the key auction area on the second floor in two days. In these two days, we will advertise and give you a higher price. Zhang He seemed to be frightened by the medicine man. But as an old Jianghu, he reacted in an instant, quickly sorted out the sentences, and expressed his meaning smoothly. In fact, Zhang He has said the same thing countless times, and he has already been familiar with it, and once he encounters rare auction items, he will use this sentence. It's just that this time he was scared out, after all, no one dared to offend such a "strong man" for his own power.

"No, right now, go to the auction right away. The old man can't stay in this place for a moment. "The medicine man doesn't want to be stuffy in the room for a second, he wants to go out to breathe, go out to play, go out to skin, go out to surf. Then he seemed to think of something, and the conversation changed, "Unless, you can help me find a few medicinal herbs, as for the price, I will go back and deduct it from the gold coins obtained from the auction." As he spoke, the medicine man used his soul power to manipulate the pen and ink on a table in the corner of the room to write down several medicinal materials for Yaoyan Alchemy. Then the soul power pumped, driving the medicine list to float towards Zhang He.

Zhang He looked at it and was a little unexpected. I thought that the medicinal materials that the pharmacist wanted were all precious second- and third-order cold medicinal materials. As a result, when I looked down, I saw that it was only an ordinary medicinal herb used by doctors in the market. Xiu Mingcao and Luo Tian didn't even have a grade, and they were a little at a loss in an instant.

"Your Excellency, these are all low-grade medicinal herbs, you want to ...... I'm sorry" Zhang He just wanted to say what you wanted these things to do, and suddenly remembered that he was also a pharmacist. There is an unwritten rule in the world of medicine refining: if you are not an acquaintance, you can't ask questions about what certain medicinal materials are used for, what kind of medicine to refine, and so on. In the end, he held back stubbornly, and only squeezed out a word of apology from his mouth.

"There's nothing to apologize for, I just want to refine the medicine, these medicinal materials are not difficult for you, right? After you finish the auction in a moment, come here and wait for me. As he spoke, the medicine man guided Yao Yan to the front row of the most lively auction.

"Xiao Zhou, it's hard work. I'd like to trouble you to call Yukihime and tell her I'll be waiting for her in the conference room. In addition, find a few people to inform the major families. Let's just say that there is an immortal sword that is even more powerful than a spiritual weapon refined by pure blood crystals. Zhang He turned his head to look at Xiao Zhou, who kept wiping his tears beside him, tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, and commanded in a soothing and gentle tone.

"Lao Tuo, you go and make up a legend about this spiritual weapon and the identity and origin of the owner, the more vague and mysterious the better. In addition, let all the resting guards return to their posts, and be sure to protect the safety of the auction house. Make a list of what you have in your inventory that you can get your hands on on the second floor, whatever it is. Also, prepare some strong tea and refreshing drinks, and distribute them to the guests after Yukihime comes on the stage for a while. Although the time is a little tight, Zhang He can still arrange everything in an orderly manner.

At this time, the medicine man had already guided Yao Yan to the middle of the first row of the auction hall in the western auction area. The auction was full of immortal cultivators, and the medicine person would be discovered by the people around him if he left Yaoyan's body. In order not to expose himself, he can only let Yao Yan be the carrier of his eyes, hiding in Yao Yan's soul sea and having fun at the auction.

"Xiao Yanzi is not interesting here, let's go out?" The medicine man thought that the auction was a rare treasure, and even if he didn't buy it, he would be addicted. Even if most of them are first- and second-order things, there are occasionally a few amazing things appearing, but I didn't expect this auction to even earn anything.

"If you want to go out and play, I can't refuse. Yao Yan continued to play with the medicine in the sea of souls.

In this way, the two left the auction house. Under the guidance of the medicine man, he walked to another neighborhood that sells all kinds of snacks and all kinds of small items.

This street is called "Yitongtian" and is about 1,000 steps long, starting from the Sotol auction house in the south and reaching the north gate of the city in the north. It also accounts for the flow of people in the Sortore auction house, and people come and go all day long. At night, every house is brightly lit, and the streets are lined with bells and bells. From time to time, officers and soldiers stand guard to maintain order to avoid quarrels. All conflicts will be brought into the nearby outpost by the officers and soldiers to negotiate between the two as a third party.

This block itself is very long, and it is inconvenient for people to walk and medicine people are greedy for fun, so they have to buy anything interesting when they see it. In the end, it took two hours to walk, and in the end, Yao Yan persuaded him again and again, so he didn't go around the second lap.

Yao Yan returned to the auction house with the gadgets that he was about to finish in his hand, and walked straight in without speaking. The guards at the door before already knew that this black-robed Yaoyan was Zhang He's guest, and this outfit was too eye-catching, so everyone watched him walk out. Although the new guards were a little wary of Yaoyan, they didn't see any movement from the leading guards, and no one acted rashly.

Yao Yan was holding something all over his body, and everyone thought he was a cargo worker, so they all gave way. It didn't take long to walk all the way back to the lounge in the crowd.

"Yo, Your Excellency, are you back?" Zhang He came to his senses as soon as he saw Yao Yan enter the door, and stood up as he spoke, patting Xue Ji who had fallen asleep on the table next to him.

After all, Yao Yan has been out for so long, and there are no rare objects in the auction house. Moreover, the major families participated in the auction in the middle of the night, except for the super spiritual weapons, there was nothing worth struggling with everyone from the arms of sweet dreams and beauties to the auction house.

Yao Yan didn't have many people in the room, and the first thing he had to do was to find a place to put down the medicine man's "things". Although there are no heavy objects, there are many objects that cannot be supported, plus Yao Yan has just repaired the meridians and started to cultivate, and there is not much true qi to use, and he is a child himself, and he has walked so far. With his own will, he walked to the lounge step by step.

"Teacher, hurry up and clear the coffee table, I can't hold on. Yao Yan used his last strength to save the medicine man in the sea of souls.

"Let's put it on the coffee table first. The medicine man responded, and at the same time manipulated his soul power to sweep the various tea sets on the coffee table to the ground, and not a drop of water was left on the table.

At the same time, Yao Yan put down the gadgets in his hand and sat on the chair closest to him, desperately controlling his breathing for fear of leaking a flaw.

"Sir, this is our chief auctioneer, Yukihime. Zhang He knew that because the efficiency of the work was too slow before, it had aroused the dissatisfaction of the old man in front of him, so he briefly introduced it and didn't say anything.

Yao Yan just sat on the chair, his breath inhalation was still unstable, and he nodded casually.

Zhang He glanced at Xue Ji, Xue Ji nodded slightly, poured half a cup of tea in her hand and sat down to the empty seat on the right beside Yao Yan.

"Your Excellency, you have worked hard. Xue Ji handed over the tea in her hand, and greeted in a delicate voice with a little softness.

When Yao Yan heard this greeting, he felt that his bones were crispy. Leaned over to look at the tea in Yukihime's hand, and wanted to raise his right hand to take it. As a result, the moment he raised his hand, a sense of detachment came to him. Finally, the whole arm slipped onto the table with a "bang", and the body was still leaning against the table.

In this way, Yao Yan leaned against the table in a strange posture, and in front of him was the teacup held by Yukihime.

Yukihime would also be mistaken, thinking that Yaoyan wanted her to feed herself tea. I learned from Zhang He that Yaoyan's strength was not ordinary, and he didn't want to offend Yaoyan. Finally, he gritted his silver teeth and fed the teacup in his hand.

Yao Yan saw that the white jade fingers were holding the teacup closer and closer, and he was very thirsty, and finally tried to raise his arm, and drank the teacup in front of him in one breath helplessly.

Seeing that Yao Yan drank so crisply, Xue Ji immediately poured another cup and handed it to Yao Yan's mouth.

After drinking three cups of tea like this, I didn't continue drinking. Xue Ji naturally didn't continue to move in her hands, put down the teacup in her hand, and thought about what to say to break this embarrassment.

"Sir, your artifact has finally been sold for fifteen million, congratulations, giggles," Xue Ji said as she presented the red plate on the table next to her to Yaoyan's eyes, and lifted the red cloth on the plate. Finally, I don't forget to let out a laugh like a silver bell.

"What a beauty who has brought disaster to the country and the people. Yao Yan couldn't help but secretly think, of course, this sentence only flashed in his heart.

Yao Yan glanced down at the red cloth plate, which was used by the Sotol Auction House to present things to the guests, and under normal circumstances, they were gold coins, gold cards and the like in circulation, but this time it was a little different. In the middle of the plate is only a crystal clear polished gemstone, which is extremely dazzling in the refraction of the light.

"Diamond?" The word flashed from Yao Yan's mind, Yao Yan didn't think much about it, just waited for his arm to recover from the state of detachment, and then took the money and left.

"This storage crystal does not have a soul mark, and you can directly use your soul power to take out the contents inside. According to the regulations, we will get 10% of your labor fees, a total of 13.5 million. The beast core and herbs are all ready, and they are also in the storage crystal. Look ......" Yukihime stopped halfway through speaking, turning her head to look at Yaoyan, waiting for Yaoyan's request.

"Hehehe, let you break the bank. "The medicine man played around, he was in a good mood, and his tone of voice was a lot more polite.

"Your Excellency, you're gracious. Xue Ji said, glaring at Zhang He.

Zhang He had planned with Xue Ji before, and after the connection, Xue Ji brought the auction house closer to him.

"Sir, there is still business to be taken care of below, and if you have no problems, I will take my leave. Zhang He casually found an excuse to give up the space.

"Okay, got it. As the medicine man spoke, he used his soul power to hold up the storage crystal and penetrate the soul power. Then he used all the gadgets that Yao Yan had bought before, and used his soul power to pull them into the storage spirit.

"Xiao Yanzi, take it. The medicine man reminded Yao Yan from the sea of souls, and let the storage crystal slowly fall into Yao Yan's hands. Yaoyan really didn't have any strength in his arm, but it wasn't wasted, and he still had the strength to pick up a small pebble.

"Teacher, let's go. Go home and refine medicine to advance. Yao Yan stood up and walked out the door.

"Won't you sit a little longer?" Yukihime wanted to hold on a little longer.

The medicine man didn't answer again, and Yao Yan naturally didn't make a sound. In this way, the two passed by Zhang He, who had just gone out and was on his way to the office not long after he went out.

Zhang He is also confused, how is this a bit different from the plan?
